Primary Focus
- Addiction Recovery Treatment
Mending Hearts Inc. was founded on April 24, 2004 by two women, Katrina and Charlotte Frierson, who overcame their own personal struggles with addiction and homelessness. Because of their experiences, Katrina and Charlotte felt led to serve women in similar situations.
Mending Hearts is a residential recovery-oriented therapeutic community for women who are or are at risk of becoming homeless as a result of their addiction to drugs, alcohol or both. Our facilities located in West Nashville are home to over 90 women who are in residence to address their addiction and the current circumstances of their life. Many of the women Mending Hearts serves are uninsured and experience immense barriers to recovery, housing and employment.
Mending Hearts’ capacity is 94 beds for women seeking recovery and we maintain a waiting list for available spaces. Our goal is to end the cycle of addiction and to develop responsibility, work ethics and self-esteem along with a strong and lasting support system for the women we serve.
